Post: Manchester United is dissatisfied with the Premier League’s intensive schedule and has communicated with the league

October 25th According to the "Daily Mail" report, Manchester United has officially raised concerns with the Premier League about the intensive mid-week schedule before Christmas. CEO Omar Berada has communicated with Premier League CEO Richard Masters on the matter, and the talks between the two parties are said to be "constructive."

Manchester United's dissatisfaction stems from the recently announced broadcast arrangements. After the previous home game against Everton was moved to Monday night, the latest adjustment has also scheduled the home game against Bournemouth and the away game against Wolves to be played on Monday night. Coupled with the already confirmed midweek home game against West Ham United, this means that within 12 weeks from October 5 to Christmas, Manchester United will only have one Saturday match day at Old Trafford, which is this Saturday against Brighton.

Manchester United is the only team to play three consecutive midweek Premier League games before Christmas: a home game against West Ham United on Thursday, December 4, followed by an away game against Wolves on Monday, and then a home game against Bournemouth a few days later. In addition, the home game against Newcastle United originally scheduled for Saturday, December 27 may also be moved to Boxing Day evening.

Sources said the club sympathized with the increased travel costs and logistical difficulties faced by fans due to the increase in midweek games, but also acknowledged that the club had agreed to additional Monday and Friday games as part of the new broadcast agreement. It is understood that when communicating with the Premier League, Manchester United emphasized the importance of fans watching the game to the entire English football.

Reports pointed out that Manchester United's failure to qualify for the European war this season is one of the reasons why its game is more likely to be scheduled on Monday night, because teams without European war tasks have fewer schedule restrictions.
